10 Easter tips to take care of the environment

Here is a list of recommendations to recycle during Easter and enjoy an environmentally responsible break:

1. Prefer accommodation that is responsible with recycling: hotels, campsites, hostels that have sustainable practices.

2. Use sustainable transport: carpooling, public transport, cycling or skateboarding.

3. Include recycling bags in your luggage to separate recyclable materials.

4. Locate recycling bins: if visiting another city and know the list of waste that goes in each bin.

5. Improvise a waste storage area: if your accommodation does not have recycling bins.

6. Apply your household environmental routine to second homes: bins and bags.

7. Do not leave waste in natural areas. Carry bags to store waste until you reach the nearest container.

8. Deposit waste from desserts and typical dishes: in their respective bags and bins.

9. Be patient with crowds: they can make access to bins or containers difficult.

10. Share the importance of recycling: with your environment, especially with children.
